What has this organisation to gain by publicising all this?
Publicity leads to money...
One of the side-effects of this row is that it has opened-up the National Bullying Hotline to questions about how it's run.
From the BBC:
'Mrs Pratt defended the operation of her helpline in the face of an accusation that she had used it as a means of "angling for business" for a human resources consultancy run by her husband.
This claim surfaced in an e-mail sent from a helpline user in 2008 to Labour MP Anne Snelgrove, who admitted to BBC Radio 4's Today programme that she did not know whether it was true.
Mrs Pratt acknowledged the charity did offer to refer callers to the consultancy, but insisted the arrangement was "done under an agreement that has been approved by the Law Society". "It has been thoroughly vetted," she added.
Ms Snelgrove, Mr Brown's parliamentary private secretary, had helped Mrs Pratt launch the helpline but said she severed links with her because she refused to attend a private meeting about the complaint - something Mrs Pratt denies.'
